1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The incidence of penile cancer in central Europe and North America is low, and patients often present at a late stage of the disease. The diagnosis can very often be made by visual examination of the primary tumor. Its morphology, size, and location as well as the inguinal lymph nodes are of clinical interest. The removal of (micro)metastatic lymph nodes is decisive for the prognosis. These cannot be diagnosed clinically or by imaging with sufficient reliability, which makes invasive lymph node staging necessary. Penile cancer can only be cured by surgery in patients with localized cancer and early stage regional lymph node metastasis. The primary tumor, including metastatic lymph nodes, must be completely excised as early as possible. If indicated, organ preservation must be performed with strict adherence of safety margins. Optimal lymph node management is crucial for long-term survival.
